I'm pretty sure early Elvis was more sexually explicit than that show.

The halftime show artist is never my cup of tea and I'll probably never listen to Bad Bunny again but I thought it was a great show. Lots of variation in the songs which were all quite fun, and he and Gaga had great chemistry.

Nope no way. I work alternating 3 and 4 day weeks of 12 hour shifts and I prefer that. I love having 4 days off. It makes it easy to take a nice small trip without taking time off or just relax. I've worked overtime up to 6 days a week plenty of times (at my choice, rarely because the company asked) and its doable but miserable. 12 hour days leaves little time to get stuff done before or after work, so the only chores that get done are put some dishes in the washer or take out the trash. So that leaves 1 day to do a bunch of stuff, cook, clean, go to ths store etc. Usually by day 6 I'm in a rythm and with one day off that can carry over, but the weekend after that I'm just dead. Still its nice to have the option if you want to save up for a trip or something or have a big expense and don't want to dip into savings. If it were my normal schedule or the company ever asked me to do that regularly, I'd be gone in an instant.

The biggest shock was a guy I met in first grade and was friends with all throughout school. We went our separate ways for college but saw each other on breaks. He went on to grad school, then med school and residency after that and I didn't see him much. I was supposed to see him and a bunch of other friends at wedding but he didn't make it. We callled him and gave him shit about it and he kinda played it off.

One day a year or so later my mom asked if he was done with residency and was a full doctor yet. I wasn't sure so I looked on Facebook and his was about as barren as mine the last 10 years. Did a search, and nope not a doctor, got caught trying to pick up a 15 year old.

I never expected anyone I grew up with to ever be on the wrong side of the law for anything more than a misdemeanor.

Only difference, is they had good ads and not just insert a celebrity ads.

Well that is what Bud Lite was made for. Its certainly not fit for human consumption.

I had an argument about that with the college when I failed ochem. 2/3 of the students failed ochem that year. My argument was basically they made the tests too hard just to weed people out because I aced the lab class and always had As on my papers. Papers where you performed real world calculations not insane ones. There reply was basically yeah its a weed out class take it again or switch majors but we'll let you keep your scholarship... for now. Kept major, switched schools a year later then switched majors.

Yup bought a MBP in my ignorant youth of 2008. It was beautiful sturdy HW at the time when most windows laptops were creaky plastic turds. After using Ubuntu for a few years Mac OS to me was like a nicer looking easier to use linux. However every 10-20 minutes the screen would flicker just once but it happened all consistently. Multiple report in forums about it and many cases opened but apple did nothing about it. Wouldn't even acknowledge it was a problem. Finally 5+ years later when most people were moving on they made a bios patch that acknowledged the issue and fixed it.

Yup that was me a few years ago. Its no longer the mid 2000s and stock debian can do pretty much anything right out the gate.

I swear jeeps and other "off road" vehicles take them the slowest.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It's actually the big trucks and jeeps that take them the slowest, or the stupidly lowered cars. I take them fine in a crossover and have coworkers that do fine in priuses and other sedans.

I think we put in speed bumps a few years ago due to an employee complaint about speeding. I hate whoever suggested that. Not because people weren't speeding/ riding tails, but now half the people drive 10 MPH going over 20 MPH speed bumps.

In reality we've had a lot of good things due to suggestions over the years.
